Tyreek Hill to the Chiefs looked like a foregone conclusion, but it appears that a dark horse has emerged.
The Bears appear to be heavily in the running for the star receiver who is currently battling injuries and won’t be ready for the start of the 2026 season.
Prediction markets on Kalshi and Polymarket are seeing an uptick in trading interest in Hill to be a Chicago Bear this upcoming season.
Kalshi currently has the Bears at 20 percent likely to sign Hill in their markets, with a large volume of $123,785 at the time of writing.
Polymarket is even more bullish on Hill to the Bears, giving Chicago a 45 percent chance to land alongside Caleb Williams, although Polymarket has just $10,563 in volume at the time of writing.
Both prediction market prices rank the Bears as the second-most likely destination behind the Chiefs, who are 38 percent on Kalshi and 55 percent on Polymarket.
The tertiary options on the sites differ, but the consensus is clear between the Chiefs and Bears as the top two options for Hill.
The Bears aren’t exactly the most fitting match, as the team already has Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III at wide receiver.
Though the Bears did move on from receiver DJ Moore, who was traded to the Buffalo Bills in a shocking deal.

Should the Bears opt to sign Hill, it would be with an eye towards the playoffs, as the former receiving leader is recovering from a nasty leg injury that will likely sideline him for multiple weeks going into the regular season.
The expectation is that Hill will start the season on the Physically Unable to Perform list.
Hill would still be a welcome addition for Williams, who took major leaps forward under new head coach Ben Johnson.
